What makes Saif Ali Khan ‘hate' coming to home? We bet you'll agree with his answer
Saif Ali Khan's talent extends far beyond his film roles. In his personal life, he juggles multiple important roles — as a father, husband, professional, and son, managing them all with calm dignity. Recently, he revealed his own definition of success: being truly present for his loved ones. The actor expressed his frustration at coming home only to find his children already asleep, feeling disappointed that he couldn't spend quality time with them. During the Arab Media Summit, Saif Ali Khan explained that, unlike the industry's usual emphasis on constant hustle, his concept of success is quite different. He described success as being centered around calmness, routine, and prioritizing family over chaos. He emphasized the importance of everyday moments that often go unnoticed but truly define a person once the cameras stop rolling. 'I hate coming home and seeing the kids already asleep. That's not success. Success is being able to say, 'No, I need to go home now to catch that half hour with them,'" he said and then added, 'We get four holidays a year, and when my kids are on break, I don't work. That time is sacred." Reflecting on this stage of his life, Saif shared that he is at an age where he needs to care for both his mother and his children. He remarked that initially, one assumes they only have to check on their parents, but eventually realizes the responsibility extends to both generations The Tashan actor emphasized that being present goes beyond mere physical presence; he highlighted the significance of showing up in small, everyday moments that often go unnoticed but are crucial for holding everything together. The Jewel Thief actor mentioned that while work is important, activities like cooking pasta together, sharing meals, and spending quality time with the children form the true foundation of life. Saif's viewpoint is straightforward and deeply rooted in reality. The Race actor believes that true success isn't about being in the limelight but is found in the simple, quiet moments, around the dinner table, during school holidays, and in prioritizing time with loved ones over public attention. He expressed that, for him, success and privilege mean having the freedom to say no to work and yes to spending time with his family.

Saif Ali Khan Opens Up On Fatherhood: 'Hate Coming Home, Seeing Kids Already Asleep'
Last Updated: In an industry that celebrates the non-stop hustle, Saif's idea of success is refreshingly different — one rooted in stillness, routine, and choosing family over frenzy.

In an industry that celebrates the non-stop hustle, Saif's idea of success is refreshingly different — one rooted in stillness, routine, and choosing family over frenzy. He spoke about the moments that matter — the everyday ones that rarely make headlines but define who we are when the cameras stop rolling. 'I hate coming home and seeing the kids already asleep. That's not success. Success is being able to say, 'No, I need to go home now to catch that half hour with them,'" he said and then added, 'We get four holidays a year, and when my kids are on break, I don't work. That time is sacred." Reflecting on this phase of life, Saif shared, 'I'm at that crazy age where I have to call both my mom and my children. You think it's just your parents you have to check on — then you realise it's both." But more than just being there, Saif spoke about the importance of showing up in the little ways. The kind that don't get documented, but hold everything together. 'Working is important, yes. But so is cooking pasta together, having a meal, and focusing on the kids. That's the real glue of life." Saif's perspective is clear and grounded. Real success lies not in the spotlight but in the quiet moments. At the dinner table. On school breaks. In choosing time over attention. 'Success and privilege, for me, is being able to say no to work and yes to time with my family." On the work front, Saif has an exciting slate ahead. He will be seen in the high-octane action thriller Race 4, a biopic in collaboration with director Rahul Dholakia, an untitled project with Priyadarshan, and a social thriller with Hansal Mehta. Known for picking layered, genre-defining roles, Saif continues to shape a career that is both evolved and intentional — on and off the screen. First Published:
